Seeing that her words were listened to by Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou, Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the two of them would be confused because Zhiran insisted on acknowledging her biological father, which would make her angry.
Although she is not much older than Jiang Yihong, she is their elder anyway, and both Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou respect her as a sister-in-law. Naturally, she does not want anything to happen to them. thing.
What’s more, once something happens to Jiang Yihong and his wife, as parents, how can Brother Jiang and his wife withstand the blow?
So, Jiang Li had to make a decision to intervene in his grandniece's affairs.
She didn't want Lao Jiang's whole family to be in trouble because of a junior who couldn't handle things well.
“You don’t have to be so angry.”
Jiang Li's eyes fell on Yan Rou, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "A person like Zhiran's biological father has no sincerity, and similarly, he will definitely not get any sincerity. And if Zhidan If you really recognize her, do you think she doesn’t care about your and Xiaohong’s feelings, and will she care about her biological father’s happiness and anger in the future?”
Looking towards Jiang Yihong, Jiang Li continued: "As for whether Zhiran recognizes her biological father, my suggestion is that you might as well prepare for the worst right now, lest things really develop to the point where Zhiran wants to live with her biological father, you guys The couple found it difficult to accept it.
Don't feel that the children you raised are giving outsiders an advantage in vain. You have to think that raising children is the responsibility and obligation of parents. When the children become adults, it is their right to make any decision. You just need to think about it. Just have a clear conscience! "
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I won’t get into trouble.”
Jiang Yihong expressed his attitude: "No matter what, Zhiran is my daughter. If Yan Rou and I tell her the truth, she still wants to go to her biological father, I will respect her choice."
As Jiang Yihong's voice fell, Yan Rou said coldly: "I just pretend that I have never given birth to her!" If Jiang Yihong and the Jiang family hadn't accepted her generously, she would not have kept her baby in her belly even if she risked her own life. child!
Especially...if she had predicted that Jiang Zhiran would become a white-eyed wolf one day, she would have been even more impossible to let her be born!
"Since your sister-in-law has made things very clear to you, and you have a clear attitude yourself, don't worry about Zhiran anymore. Life should go on as usual. Let's wait and see what will happen next for Zhiran. Do."
This is Cai Xiufang’s voice.
“I’ll listen to you, so be it.”
Captain Jiang said: "Relax your mind and don't make it difficult for yourself."
"Um."
Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou nodded in unison.
…
After asking about the words of Jiang Li and Captain Jiang, Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou really stopped worrying about whether their daughter Zhiran denied being the father. However, when Jiang Zhiran returned home, out of their sense of parental responsibility, they asked Jiang Zhiran if he was the father. I didn't break up with Cui Jiadong. The answer I got was no, and I would definitely not break up. For this reason, the family inevitably had several unhappy moments before the end of the year.
On this day, Lao Jiang's family left for their hometown. As a result, Jiang Zhiran ran out of the house and did not come back for more than an hour. Jiang Yihong was so angry that he sat on the sofa in the living room with an extremely ugly face.
“How about we go, my sister-in-law and the others are waiting for me!”
Yan Rou suggested.
“Wait another half hour.”
Jiang Yihong sat motionless.
"She is too old to be left alone. Besides, her father is at home, so she can come back if she wants. It's not like she has entered the family. To say the least, even if she doesn't come back, nothing will happen to her outside."
Jiang Yihong understood what Yan Rou meant. If his daughter did not come back, she would definitely run to her biological father's house, because the family's life experience of the two daughters had been brought to light one or two months ago.
In other words, the two sisters Zhiran and Zhiyin now clearly know that their surname was Wen, but because their biological father was irresponsible and failed to take responsibility, he abandoned their mother and returned to the city alone with the college admission notice. It is their current father. The Hejiang family was willing to accept their mother and gave the three of them a home.
However, after the two sisters found out about their background, Zhiyin expressed her position that she only had one father, Jiang Yihong.
Zhiran didn't say anything, but he still paid for his monthly living expenses to his family. Regarding Cui Jiadong's matter, he insisted on opposing his parents. In short, he refused to listen to advice, as if he was possessed, feeling that Cui Jiadong was worth a thousand and ten thousand. Well, she felt that her family didn't understand her. After saying a few words, she made a big fuss at home, and even ran out of the house to force Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou to submit.
“Let’s go, don’t get used to your bad habits!”
Yan Songping spoke. He was increasingly disappointed with his granddaughter. It was obvious that the whole family was doing it for her own good, but in the end, she was misunderstood. They thought it was because they, the elders, disliked her boyfriend because he was from a farmer's family. He refused to listen to the explanation and just Knowing that insisting on your own knowledge is simply hopeless!
"Dad, we will wait for another half an hour. If you are tired, go back to the bedroom to rest. If you still can't see her after half an hour, we will definitely leave immediately."
Jiang Yihong looked at Yan Songping and said something.
“It’s okay, I’ll sit here with you for a while.”
Yan Songping shook his head.
Time passed by, and there were only two or three minutes left before half an hour. Yan Rou asked her second daughter Zhiyin and her son Zhiyan to put the New Year's goods they were going to take back to their hometown into the trunk of the car, and then said to Yan Songping: "Dad, After the second day of junior high school, Yihong and I came back with our children.”
“There’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
Yan Songping shook his head and said, "After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, we will start back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
“Let’s see when the time comes.”
Yan Rou didn’t give the correct answer.
Yan Songping’s mouth moved, but he didn’t say anything else.
He had retired two years ago. Now, his body and bones seem to be strong, but those years in the country have damaged his roots. Even though he has been recuperating over the years, he knows that some old problems cannot be recuperated at all. Therefore, his daughter has been suffering from the disease for the past two years. Nian was very worried about his physical condition, fearing that something would happen to him when she wasn't paying attention.
I just want to spend more time with him.
But since the daughter is already the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, she should keep pace with the old Jiang family. She cannot stay in Beicheng alone without accompanying all the old Jiang family members when they go back to their hometown for the New Year.
Thinking of this, Yan Songping couldn't help but urge Jiang Yihong: "Xiaohong, don't wait any longer, but you probably won't come back."
“Dad, listen to my grandpa, let’s go.”
Jiang Zhiyan is a high school student. He looks very much like his father, Jiang Yihong. He is about 181cm tall, sunny and handsome, and he especially likes to play ball.
“Yes, dad, let’s go, my sister can do whatever she wants!” Yan Zhiyin really couldn’t understand. She and Jiang Zhiran were obviously twin sisters, why was the other one such a brainless person?
Except for Jiang Zhiran himself, no one in the family has a good impression of Cui Jiadong. Why is Jiang Zhiran so confused by him like a man possessed that he thinks Cui Jiadong is a motivated and promising young man?
Sometimes, Yan Zhiyin even thinks that it is a bit embarrassing for her to be a sister with Jiang Zhiran and have exactly the same appearance!
Standing up, Jiang Yihong looked at Yan Songping: "Dad, let's go."
"Um."
Yan Songping nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety on the road."
Jiang Yihong: “Okay.”
…
In a large mansion sixty-seven stops away from Beicheng Normal University, Cui Jiadong used sweet talk to trick Jiang Zhiran into renting a house of about 20 square meters here as a residence before the winter vacation.
The reason?
During the winter and summer vacations, the dormitory building is closed directly. If you don’t want to go back to your hometown and stay there, it is naturally not feasible.
Cui Jiadong dislikes that his hometown is too far away and is in the mountains. The trip back home takes three days and two nights, not counting the crowds on the train. It is not easy to walk all the way from the city to his home.
After taking the bus, I took the next bus. If I got off the bus, I was lucky enough to take an ox cart or a walking tractor that came along the way. After that, I still had to walk two or three miles.
The problem is that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult for hand tractors and bullock carts to leave the village. As a result, they have to walk back to the village from the town over the mountains and ridges on two legs.
Based on this situation, Cui Jiadong really didn't want to suffer the consequences of returning home.
Even if his family used the money Jiang Zhiran gave him to build a new house before winter, Cui Jiadong still couldn't happily go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
Yes, Cui Jiadong successively took more than 6,000 yuan from Jiang Zhiran.
And all this money was borrowed by Jiang Zhiran, and all the people she borrowed from were relatives of Mingwei's generation in the old Jiang family.
“Of course, you really don’t plan to go back to your hometown with your parents, sister and brother to celebrate the New Year?”
Cui Jiadong sat on a chair next to the heating stove to warm himself up. He looked at Jiang Zhiran who was sitting on his bed. Seeing that the other party was silent, he couldn't help but said: "I don't think this is good. Why don't you listen to my advice and go back quickly... "
"What's going on with you? My parents and I quarreled, not all because of you, but you didn't comfort me. Instead, you asked me to go back and admit my mistake. Cui Jiadong, you are very annoying, do you know that?"
Jiang Zhiran’s eyes were red, and he was filled with grievances.
"I know you are doing it for me, but why don't you listen to me?"
Cui Jiadong's eyes were full of heartache and hurt. He said: "Your parents don't accept me. That's because they misunderstood me. As long as I work hard and make progress and always treat you well, I believe one day they will accept me as you." My boyfriend, but if you go against them for a long time, your parents’ impression of me will only get worse, do you understand?”
“I don’t understand, and I don’t want to understand!”
Jiang Zhiran said angrily: "It's their fault that they don't allow me to date you. I won't be afraid of them. Now I just want to be willful and not go back to my hometown with them. Let's see what they can do!"
Hearing this, Cui Jiadong thought to himself: Idiot! Compared with your biological father, your adoptive father is obviously more capable, and your biological father's family background can only be said to be well-off, but your adoptive father's Jiang family is very wealthy, how come you can't see the reality clearly? Do you keep being stupid and can't wake up at all? !
Cui Jiadong: "Aren't you worried that your parents will transfer all their love for you to your younger sister and brother?"
Jiang Zhiran: "What's there to worry about? They don't love me. My biological father and Aunt Xue will love me. And my biological father and Aunt Xue have no children. They want me to live with them!"
Cui Jiadong: "The family conditions at your biological father's side are average. How can you get used to living with your biological father?"
“The conditions in my biological father’s family are good, Cui Jiadong, you don’t know anything and it’s best not to talk nonsense, otherwise, be careful and I will ignore you!”
The Jiang family is rich, but neither her grandparents nor her parents allow the children to spend money lavishly, and they are stuck in monthly pocket money, and he Her father found her on his own and not only bought her a lot of brand-name clothes, but also gave her a pocket money worth 1,800 yuan.
It shows how much you care about her as a daughter!
“Okay, okay, I said something wrong. Since you don’t want to admit your mistake to your parents, I’ll just stop saying it.”
Cui Jiadong didn't want to be cut off in two by Jiang Zhiran one day.
At least until he gets enough benefits, he will never part ways with this idiot Jiang Zhiran.
“That’s pretty much it.”
Jiang Zhiran smiled. She was very satisfied that Cui Jiadong was knowledgeable and did not dare to really offend her.
Cui Jiadong's eyes were fond of you: "I really can't do anything about you, just tell me what you want to eat for lunch, and I'll make it for you later."
"I want to eat braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, and Sixi meatballs. Can you make these?" Jiang Zhiran snorted and said, "I don't even see any ingredients here, but you just use your mouth to coax them." I."
Hearing this, Cui Jiadong's face became hot, which was caused by shame and anger, but he resisted letting his emotions show up and said, "It's not like you don't know about my family's situation. It's not easy to come to Beicheng to go to school, and I do it on weekends." The little money a tutor earns...is only enough for my weekly living expenses..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking, I'm not bothering you much, I think you're in a hurry!"
Jiang Zhiran rolled her eyes, took out fifty yuan from her pocket and threw it on the quilt. She said, "You can use this money first. It's New Year's Eve in a few days. I'll take you to my biological father's place to have dinner."
Cui Jiadong's self-esteem was deeply hurt when he saw Jiang Zhiran giving him money, but no matter how angry he was, he always kept a smile on his face. After all, Jiang Zhiran had done a lot for him with such charity today. , Otherwise, how could he get more than 6,000 yuan from the other party?
Well, counting the mobile phones, clothes, shoes and other daily necessities that the other party bought for him, Jiang Zhiran spent at least 10,000 yuan on him in the past six months.
“I won’t go on New Year’s Eve.”
Cui Jiadong shook his head and refused: "You and I are just boyfriend and girlfriend now, how can I go to have a reunion dinner with you? This is unreasonable!"
“Do you want to go or not?”
Jiang Zhiran glared at Cui Jiadong, turned his back and lay on the bed, covering his head with a quilt.
Obviously, he is angry with Cui Jiadong!
…
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Li and his party returned to Wari Village.
With Brother Jiang San and Brother Jiang living in the house, the place in my hometown had been cleaned two days ago, and arrangements had been made for New Year's goods and other things.
What I want to say is that because Jiang Hongfa was old, Jiang Boya did not let Jiang Hongfa go to Wari Village with him to celebrate the New Year. Of course, he himself did not go back to Wari Village, but stayed in Beicheng to accompany Jiang Hongfa to welcome the New Year.
I have to mention here that Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang passed away around the time when the three dumplings were sixteen years old. Although the two old people did not live past a hundred years old, they lived to be over ninety years old. It is said that their death is a matter of joy and mourning.
In order not to cause trouble to their children and grandchildren, the two old people seemed to have made an appointment and disappeared together in their dreams on the night of the 28th of the year.
Fifth generation lived together before their death, and Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang were undoubtedly very happy to see all their descendants. In their dream, they left hand in hand without any regrets. It is inevitable for the old Jiang family to be sad, but everyone is tolerant.
He is over ninety years old. He can be called a long-lived old man. Not to mention in Wari Village, even in the whole town and the whole county, there are not many old people who can live such a long life.
What's more, the two old people had a deep relationship and left together. They also felt sorry for their children and grandchildren, so they chose to leave at the end of the year, so that whether their children and grandchildren would bury them or worship them every year in the future, they would not have to do it separately, thus avoiding trouble.
People in the village say that Lao Jiang’s family has good Feng Shui. Otherwise, how could Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Jiang live such a long life? As for Uncle Jiang, Captain Jiang, Uncle Jiang and their wives, all of them are old men and women, but they look very energetic. It is absolutely no problem to live for another ten or twenty years.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the familiar village roads and the large villas of each family, Mingxi (Guoguo) said: "I feel very uncomfortable that I can't see my great-grandfather and grandma when I come back this time."
“You are the fifth brother and I am the same.”
Mingchen (tangyuan) agreed.
“My great-great-grandfather and great-grandmother were in mourning that year.”
Ming Ting (Tuanzi)’s implication was very clear. He was telling his younger brothers and sisters that there was no need to be too sad if they didn’t see the two old people.
"I know, but I just feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. But after you just said that, I feel much better." Mingxi said, and beside her, Mingchen nodded. Before Mingting could say anything else, Mingwei Shi came over and said, "What are you talking about?"
“Sister, we are talking about my great-grandma and great-grandpa.”
Mingxi responded to her sister Mingwei.
“That’s it, are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Ming Wei asked with a smile.
Mingxi nodded.
Ming Wei: "My great-grandfather and great-grandma are mourning. Besides, birth, old age, illness and death are normal in nature. There is no need to feel sad just because my great-grandfather and great-grandma have passed away."
"I understand the truth. It's just that when I think of my great-grandfather and old lady, I feel a little uncomfortable, but it's much better now!" At this point, Mingxi and Mingwei started chatting. Beside them, Ming Tingming Chen listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a sentence.
While the two sisters were chatting, they somehow found out about cousin Zhiran, and Mingxi said: "Sister, cousin Yihong's financial situation should not be short of Zhiran in terms of money, but Zhiran But before the winter vacation, she actually contacted me and borrowed 1,000 yuan from me, saying that one of her classmates needed surgery, but the surgery cost would be 3,000 to 4,000 yuan..."
Listening to Mingxi's words, Mingwei's face gradually changed. When Mingxi's voice fell, Mingwei confirmed: "Zhiran also borrowed one thousand from you?"
"Um."
Mingxi nodded: "Sister, didn't I just tell you that, in order to prevent Zhiran from having to make another trip, I didn't have one thousand with me at the time, so I asked my colleagues to collect one thousand and gave it to Zhiran."
“She also borrowed a thousand from me.”
Ming Wei said, she paused for a moment, and saw that Ming Ting and Ming Chen looked obviously strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that Zhi Ran borrowed it from you?"
"Um."
Ming Ting and Ming Chen nodded at the same time. Ming Ting said, "Borrow me eight hundred."
“You borrowed five hundred from me, knowing that you are underestimating my cousin’s financial resources?”
Mingchen's face pretended to be ugly: "I borrowed one thousand from you and my younger sister respectively, and eight hundred from my fourth brother. You only asked me to borrow five hundred. Zhiran must think that my money Not very capable.”
“Can you please stop playing tricks at this time, fifth brother?”
Mingxi looked at Mingchen helplessly, and then said to Mingwei: "Sister, I think Zhiran is not only asking us to borrow money, but also the second brother. She may also ask the big brother. Cousin and sister-in-law took it over."
“What can you borrow from me?”
Lin Dan walked out of the courtyard and happened to hear what Ming Xi said to Ming Wei, and couldn't help but asked curiously.
“Big cousin sister-in-law.”
Mingxi, Mingwei, and Mingting and Mingchen called each other in unison. Then, when Mingwei told Zhiran about borrowing money from the four of them, she saw Lin Dan frowning, and then heard the other person say: "What happened? What's going on? I actually borrowed money from you. No, I have to talk to your sister-in-law Rou about this, otherwise I'm afraid there will be a big mess! "
“Cousin, how much did she borrow from you?”
Mingxi asked.
Lin Dan replied: "Five hundred. The excuse was that my classmate's mother broke her leg, but her family was poor and couldn't afford the hospital bills. She had two classmates and couldn't afford the money herself, so she asked me to borrow some."
“We need to talk to Cousin Rou and Cousin Hong, so as not to cause big trouble outside.”
Ming Wei said as she walked into the courtyard with Lin Dan.
Ming Ting, Ming Chen, and Ming Xi walked together closely.
“Cousin, why don’t we talk to my mother first and see what she thinks.”
Ming Wei suggested.
Lin Dan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
…
Jiang Li was in Cai Xiufang's room and saw Lin Dan and Ming Wei walking into the door. She was curious: "Why are you all here? Is something wrong?" she asked with a smile.
“It’s something.”
Lin Dan spoke.
“Sit on the Kang.”
Jiang Li invited several people to get on the Kang.
"Need not."
Lin Dan shook his head.
Ming Wei and the others also shook their heads, but sitting on the kang were Jiang Li, Captain Jiang, Luo Yanqing and Xiaodou Bao, and the others were not here.
"Sister-in-law, of course she borrowed money from me, Weiwei, and Tuanzi. The total amount was quite a lot, and she borrowed it under different excuses. We were wondering if there was something going on, so we thought first I want to ask you what you think, and then talk to Third Brother and his wife about borrowing money from Ranran."
After listening to what Lin Dan said, not to mention Jiang Li’s expression, Captain Jiang and Cai Xiufang were the first to have dark faces.
Luo Yanqing frowned, obviously confused about Zhiran asking many people to borrow money.
"I know the matter. I will talk to Xiao Hong and Yan Rou later."
Jiang Li said this to Lin Dan. Hearing this, Lin Dan knew what she meant. It meant that she would not have to go to Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou. He understood in his heart that Lin Dan naturally didn't say anything more.
After Lin Dan left, Jiang Li turned his attention to Mingwei and Tuanzi: "Zhiran asked you to borrow money, why didn't you tell me?"
“But Ranran didn’t let me say it.”
Mingwei was the first to reply.
Ming Ting: "She said she didn't want Cousin Hong and Cousin Rou to know."
Mingchen: "Mom, Ranran is worried that if we tell you, you turn around and tell her parents."
Mingxi: "Mom, I guess you don't want to cause trouble to Cousin Hong and Cousin Rou."
Then catch the insects. . .
